[20.01] Hard X-ray Imaging Survey Science Objectives

T. A. Prince (Caltech)

Many high energy sources, such as black hole binaries
and active galactic nuclei, are inherently variable and
transient. Study of these sources requires X-ray and
hard X-ray imaging with very large field of view. We
briefly discuss the impetus for future all-sky imaging
survey observations, including recent observations with
the current generation of high-energy all-sky monitors.
